US EditionJennifer Garner and Ben Affleck's Daughter Violet Gives Passionate Speech at the United Nations
Violet Affleck urged global leaders to reinstate mask mandates and invest in clean air infrastructure to combat long COVID, now the most common chronic illness in children under five, experts say.
- On Tuesday, Violet Affleck, the daughter of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, spoke at a UN event held in New York City, urging support for mask mandates and initiatives to improve air quality.
- Her speech followed the Covid-19 pandemic and stems from her longstanding advocacy on public health, informed by contracting a post-viral condition in 2019 and witnessing ongoing long COVID impacts.
- Speaking at a United Nations gathering focused on improving air quality and health worldwide, Violet called on governments to offer free, high-quality testing, implement air filtration systems, and uphold mask requirements to reduce the spread of airborne illnesses.
- She stressed that access to purified air should be considered a fundamental human right, on par with clean water, and cautioned that each additional infection raises the likelihood of long COVID—a condition that has now become more prevalent than asthma among young children.
- Violet’s speech highlighted ongoing neglect of airborne threats by adults, calling the failure to protect children 'neglect of the highest order' and urging renewed focus on clean air infrastructure for future generations.
